Story: Confessions of a Broken Heart

Chapter seven : Vulnerable Acknowledgment

By:TwistedXmo

I was stepping on the gas as fast as I can, dogging every car in sight making my way to the hospital. I distinguish that hospital very well, one occasion my father pushed me down the stairs causing me to have a fractured knee, I remember that night, that night, and I knew I had a crush on Duncan.

Looking at the time, reading it was eleven, time to unlock my window and chatter about random junk, this was a daily routine. I open my blinds seeing Duncan already waiting for me eating a bag of corn chips. I sighed as I opened it up and plop a sit on the window frame. I grunted from the tenderness as Duncan looked up at me from him bags. "Corn chips? Doesn't really taste like Corn how my ma makes it."

I felt the dry tears still on face after I wiped them off a couple minutes ago. I didn't talk, I didn't even want to talk, and I was a child when it came to pain, but still, I didn't want Duncan to make fun of me.

"What's wrong?" He asked looking at me more seriously putting his corn chips down to his side.

"N-nothing." I throttled out. When I talked after crying I have that gush in my lung that I want to choke out, my mother told me it's a secret that is in your throat. That you need to spit out or you will still cry."Liar." He rolled his eyeballs at me as I sighed, I need to tell Duncan. "Well, me and dad had some words…"

"You stood up to that pig? Proud of you Care bear."I laughed a bit as I lift my leg on to the widow so Duncan can see. "I lost." I whispered. Their, Duncan stared at my bloody dismayed knee and notices the purple and blue in my knee.

"Gwen." He slowly said.

"I'm fine... don't worry. " I smiled as Duncan scowled at me. "Don't give me that crap."I felt the tears shooting back up at my eyes as I choked out that secret in my lungs. "Ok I'm not Duncan! I'm in pain, I can't even walk, I think I need my leg slash off from this pain!" (What, I was a kid back then?)

I cried filling the tears all over my face as Duncan did something I never seen him do before. He got onto his double bed and grabbed his robot monster truck on his top bookshelf, which surprising didn't have one book on it.

"Duncan this isn't no time for playing!" I chirp. He rolled his eyes. "I'm not Gwenny," He open the back trunk of the truck and there was a shiny key.

"What's that?" I sniffled. "My dad's car key." He smirked slipping on his shoes and turning off his light. "What!" I cried. Tears still plummet down. Duncan clambered out his widow and onto the tree that was planted on his home but the branches reached my widow; soon he was at my widow.

"Give me your hand." "No Duncan, where not…" I began I just got cut off. "Do you want your leg cut off or what?" He yelled. I stopped crying as he yanked my hand out of my widow. That was Duncan's affections at the time; honestly it was the sweetest thing, for it being Duncan.

I slowly climbed down the tree, with Duncan helping me of course. He helped me limped into his dads cops car and turned it on.

"Oh I've been waiting to do this forever!" Duncan rubbed his hands together laughing at himself.

"You can drive right?" I asked biting my nails. "Ah duh, I have five gold medals." He crowed, closing his eyes. I didn't know what he meant buy those medals but that must be good I bet.

Duncan looked around as he was staring at the steering wheel. "What's wrong?" I asked he shrugged. "Can't find the A button." "A Button?" I questioned. Duncan nodded. "Yes Care bear, it what starts the ride."

"Duncan you press the gas to go!" "Really?" He asked scared as I slapped my forehead. "I thought you knew how to drive?" "I do!" He sighed and whispered. "On my video game."

I slapped him this time in his left arm. "You Idiotic!" Duncan deafened himself. "Ok, can't be that hard; first put it on R for Rewind.""Rewind?" I asked. "Yes, that means going back…see?" Duncan stared backing up from the driveway as I smiled.

"I guess you do know what you're doing." I smiled as Duncan smiled also. "Ok, now we put it on D." "What does the D mean?" I asked "Duncan!" he asked stupidly.

"D stands for your name, how cool, ouch!" I yelped as I felt another jagged pain in my right leg again.

Duncan started driving and I swear I couldn't breathe with his driving, I'm surprised we didn't wreck the car, but we made it to the hospital, and they told me it was a fractured knee and wrapped it up for me, Duncan used his mothers insurance on my knee for the pills to they gave me, Duncan made up a lie that his mother was working night shift and needed the pills right away, which work. My knee was held. After that night Duncan always wanted to play doctor with me and helped me with anything, "Your wish is my command." He spoke, having me giggle… having me have a crush on him.

Everything went back to reality as I was already in the waiting room waiting for Duncan, I sat their holding on to my stomach, still feeling the soreness, the doctors wanted to observe if I was ok but I didn't want to leave Duncan I wanted to be right next to him, I wanted to be there as his eyes fluttered open, I needed to see those teal eyes that was my angel, I need… him.

Duncan Points of view;

I was in that slumber, begging to be woken up but still in my twisted nightmares, I felt pain threw out my body but felt numb at once. I remember seeing Gwen's broken face. "Duncan!" She cried as I ran up to her all tied up from her dad, oh how I hated that monster. I remember a glimpse of Trent calling the cops. I seen Jon their... on the frosty ground, looking lifeless, but was he? I don't know. I looked over at Trent turning pale as he fell onto the ground. I don't remember seeing those in the real world but I felt that scene right away. I notice I'm in a black room, no windows, no atmosphere, nothing, I'm alone as I seen a door appear out of nowhere and it slowly opens and I see a mirror, I see, myself, I want to get through the door but the mirror is in the way. I clinch my fist as I break the glass and suddenly open my eyes.

"Duncan?" my eyes are still blurry but I heard that voice loud and clear. "Gwen." I mumbled. I seen those dark lips and seen that pasty smile between them. "Thank you god." I rejust my eyes seeing Gwen looking up and back down at me.

"What? How? I mean…" I began; she placed her finger on my lips as she whispered. "Don't strain your voice Dunk, I'll tell you what, I pulled in rewind at the auto shop and put it on D, for Duncan and drove us here, you're safe."

I chuckled, I remember that's what I thought when I was younger what those meant, dim of me, that was the time that I drove Gwen to get facilitate. I guess she did the same for me, thank god.

I sighed as I felt my hips hurting as Gwen frowned and spoke again. "It was close to breaking your hip for good, you could have not been able to walk anymore, I'm, I, Duncan….thank you." I smiled as Gwen kissed my cheek. I slowly closed my eyes lids as I felt back asleep before I went back into my dreams I grabbed her hand as her hands tangle into mine, it felt…true.

Gwen's point of view;

I sat their feeling my heart regain life again as I seen, hear, Duncan. I stared at me and Duncan's hands lace with each other. I love Duncan, I always will. He was a big part in my life, hell he saved my life. I looked at the clock at notice it was around noon, a nurse walks in and smiles faintly. "You got yourself a soldier, you better keep him" She smiled as I slowly got what she meant. "Oh, he's not my boyfriend, just a good friend."

She blushed. "Opps, sorry honey," and with that she left. Me and Duncan a couple? Haha, yeah right. Yet again, things aren't the same anymore for us. I mean I thought if I ever saw Duncan again we would play cops and robbers and play goldfish. Having Duncan back in my life felt too right, but he was just a friend, a friend who has gotten to be very attracted. I shook my head, what am I thinking I have Trent. Speaking of Trent think I should give him a call and tell him I got sick so I didn't end up attending school.

I slowly try and untangle my fingers away from Duncan but I felt a tight grab. "Don't leave." He mumbled. I rolled my eyes. "Even when he's asleep, he's bossy." I pulled my hands away from Duncan and went to the main office. "Excuse me; may I use one of your phones?" The lady stared up at me; she was old and looked very unpleasant. "Don't you teens have your cell phones?"

"Haha, yeah it broke." I said sheepishly. She rolled her eyes. "Teens these days." And handle the phone.

I rolled my eyes and dialed Trent number, it took about the last ring for Trent to answer, so not him, mostly he would answer the second ring, something was up.

"Gwen!" he cried.

"Hey Trent," I spoke causal but Trent was far from that word. "I'm shot!" He yelled, that what made me jump. "Trent, where are you!" I tried speaking underlying but I couldn't I felt like I was going to start having a panic assault just how I was with Duncan.

"The auto shop." He said, heavily out of breath as I gasped. "I thought I told you to leave!" I yelled, mostly pissed cause he didn't listen to me and know he was shot, and no other then from my father.

"I, I couldn't leave you." He spoke. "Trent just save your breath I'm going to get the ambulance to come get you, stay claim, but one more question, is John dead?" I asked, voice getting shaky as Trent took a while to answer from that. "No," I felt Trent passing out threw the phone as I hurried and hung up looking at the women. "My boyfriend was shot! You need to go get him now!" I yelled.

The women stared at me stupidly and laughed. "You're boyfriend is safe and sound in his room miss."

"No idiot! My boyfriend is at Toni's auto help 101 on Yellow road by the high school, you need to go get him, and for the last time Duncan is not my boyfriend! Also lady, there is a mad man trying to kill hem there, we need the cops!" "Ok, ok ok!" She yelled picking on her phone making the calls. The other nurses grabbed me, more like shoving out of the main hall, mostly because I was scaring everyone.

"Sweetie how about you go back in your boy- I mean, friends room and we'll let you know what's going on with your boyfriend mmk?"I sighed as I walked back into Duncan's room with his eyes staring down at me. "Oh, hey Duncan didn't know you woke up."

I shut the door behide us as he chuckled. "How can I sleep with you screaming like crazy cat lady threw the hall way?" "Sorry." I whispered as I sat on the end of his bed and hung my head down.

It was quite after that and Duncan spoke. "Sweetheart don't worry I'm sure butt chin is going to be ok." I laughed a little, it was true, Trent does have a butt chin, ah Duncan don't make me laugh when I'm worried about him. "It's not just that Dunk..." I said moving a strain of my hair away from my face. "He's not dead."

Duncan narrowed his eyes at me, thinking I wanted Trent dead, but then he thought about it and knew I wasn't talking about Trent anymore. "Really?" He asked, as I nodded. "Yes, Trent told me."

Duncan rolled his eyes. "I thought I killed that Fucker. I stab his fucking heart!" Duncan yelled. I place my hand on his cheek. "Dunk, you forgot, that ass doesn't have a heart." Duncan laughed as he sighed. "Good one babe." I let Duncan rest after that I was getting worried. He is still living, breathing, walking, making a plan to kill everyone of us now, me, my mother and now, Duncan and Trent. I couldn't let that I couldn't do that to my loves one.

I heard that scream that I knew; I heard it that one time when Trent broke his guitar bye accidently sat on it. I lifted myself off the chair and rushed into the hall way seeing them rushing him into the ER. "Trent!" I cried. Trent was afraid of the Doctors, don't know why though, I think the last time we went to the doctors his grandfather past away it well injured Trent.

I was about to rush into that room as the nurse was pulling me back. "It's not safe to go in their!" "I don't care!" I yelled. A small flashback reappeared into my head a couple hours ago while me and Trent were talking. "We used to be…" Trent gently picked up his hand reaching to mine and I grabbed it. He looked into my eyes and whispered "In love." Trent spoke. I sighed, filling the tears in my eyes and nodded. "I know." I cried remembering that thought. I used to love him but it started fading away as Duncan reentered my life. I don't want Trent and me to end up on bad terms, but I love him, but was I in love with him? The ladies pushed me back into Duncan's room as I stomped my foot. "Not fair!" I yelled at the ladies that locked me inside.

I heard a chuckle. "I guess you're stuck with me babe." I jumped. "Oh I… Duncan I didn't mean it like that, I just want to make sure Trent's ok." "He'll be ok; you just got to move that pole up your butt." Duncan stared laughing as I grunted. "I guess someone is feeling better?" He smiled. "You can say that."

I sat down and rubbed my hair, fixing it mostly and looked back at my hand which was red. Duncan smiled soon frowned looking at me. "What's that?" He asked I looked at it; it was dried up in my hair. I licked a little of it as Duncan yelled. "You're sick!" "Shut up, it's just blood." I said remembering the taste of blood when I was younger. I remember when my dad crashed that chair into my head. I felt a burse.

I suddenly heard Duncan grunt. "What's wrong?" I asked. "I got an itch." He asked running his back onto the bed, I can tell it wasn't working out so well, I giggled. "Need help?" I lifted up my hand as he nodded.

"I think I need to hear the mag-" I soon got interrupted by him screaming at me. "Please women!" I laughed. "Gosh mister beanie pants." I got up walking up to Duncan, sitting closer to his face on his bed, as I started starching that spot that was bugging him, "Better?" I teased. He sighed in relief. "Much." And smiled at me.

I sat on the bed still scratching his back; he loved when I did that. Soon it became a habit as I started at Duncan's eyes. I loved his eyes, I told him that I was going to kidnap his eyes and have Jeepers Creepers put them in my head instead of mine when we was younger watching scary movies threw out our windows. Duncan had a DVD player, lucky.

"I'm a dumbass, why did I call you." I sighed as Duncan looked at me shocked. "Meaning?" He asked, not fair that what I always say to him. "You know." I played with my fingers. "Look what I did?" I said point at Duncan's gun shot. He shrugged. "I dono, you should have called pizza hut, I'm sure they was going to help you." He laughed, but I didn't. I seriously put Duncan's life in more risk now too, his family maybe, I mean come on my dad lives right next to them.

I then felt Duncan's warm hand tough my chin making me look at him. "Gwen, don't stress it, I'm glad I was there to help you, besides you're my best friend, and I am always in a fighting mood, please babe don't stress this out I don't want your pretty little face to get upset, I love you babe."

I closed my eyes I felt a tear run down my cheek. "You never say the L word." I teased but still crying but Duncan smiled at me and said. "So then it must be true." Soon everything about Trent disappear as I was staring at Duncan, remembering him at the playground, threw our windows, at lunch running up to him, pasting that stupid note that got me in trouble for the first time, wresting in his house feeling the hot steamy moments that made me blush and breath hard. To him saving me at my time of need, the first time he called me care bear, jacking his dad's car to save me, it was Duncan all along that I was falling in love with… just never perceived it.

I lead down, and kissed his cheek. Slowly my face was still near his cheek it was warm. I looked at Duncan in the corner of my eye, as Duncan staring at me like I was a ice cream in the middle of the hot July. Duncan smirked afterwards and notice me staring at me, breathless he perk his lips to me as I lead to the left more, we was about to kiss… until we heard it.
